Note 3 N9005 Firmware Issue

Evening,

A while ago someone rooted my phone which caused me a lot of issues. I was able to put back on a stock 4.3 n9005 VOD Samsung firmware. I recently found out that Lollipop was out for my specific phone but I knew I couldn't download it without un-rooting the phone. I looked online and followed a tutorial. I went on samfirmware.com got a stock 4.3 firmware and attempted to install it and follow the tutorial. The phone failed to install this and just restarted and worked. I thought if I installed the update of what my firmware was to a kit kat version I thought that might work but it didn't. It got about 9/10 of the way and I got FAIL! (Size).

This has of course completely screwed up the existing firmware and I am unable to get onto my phone. I have attempted to put back its original firmware but I get the following message:

<ID:0/006> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/006> aboot.mbn
<ID:0/006> FAIL! (Auth)
<ID:0/006>
<ID:0/006> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

I am using odin3 v3.09 with the correct firmware e.g. UK n9005 Vodafone. I have tried different USB ports different version of Odin etc etc...

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Unlucky, as long as it was original and factory update, your carrier should fix it for the warranty, just say it was updating and screwed up, just dont tell them it was via USB.
Or you should look up on google how to unbrick that certain device.

Sadly that's not an option as it was rooted and when I put the stock on I must not have done it correctly as it was still rooted and I still have knox warranty void. To unbrick it's just installing stock firmware but the device just fails every time I try.

I don't know, I actually one time rooted my phone, it bricked afer a week. I went to the carrier, and told it wasn't turning on, and guess what, they fixed it! They really cant see if it was rooted, because they will install new OS anyway, unless they open recovery mode, and that's flashed, then they might say something.
If you really want to do it by yourself, then as you see, simple flashing does not help. You need to find alternative way to reinstall your rom Look up for aps like ATF, Advanced Turbo Flashing.
